Brake pads EBC or OEM Toyota
I have Speigler stainless lines, EBC pads, and Motion 5.1 fluid in mine.
My 2005 Prius needed brakes, I paid $7 for pads and $12 for each rotor. That's $31 for pads and rotors.
Just dropped 4500 on brakes (rotors, fluid, pads), tyres, and an oil change on my 2022 Toyota Supra for regular maintenance.
Camry or corolla hybrids. I have cameys in my fleet that have done half a million KMs needing nothing more than oil, filters, tyres and a single set of brake pads
Just did the brakes on my 1994 4runner. Discs were smooth, no rust or grooves. Way above spec, the pads must have been soft. I put in some much better quality pads and did not turn them.
Get the EBC RedStuff kit from FCP. I've had them on several cars and it's exactly what you describe. They held up to some AutoCross as well.
As an EBC Red owner myself. These pads are not built for abuse. Like at all. They're a sporty street pad at best.
I’ve got EBC blue stuff on my Chrysler 300 (weights like 4400lbs) with EBC slotted rotors. The factory pads were quite easy to overheat to where you can feel a decrease in braking performance, by the time I installed the EBC pads, the factory pads and rotors pulsated. With the EBC blue stuff pads I have yet to feel them fade (no track use). Some downsides, they dust like crazy, my chrome wheels are a dull gray in just a few days. Additionally they sometimes squeak and squeal, they also feel a little worse than factory pads for initial bite when it’s really cold out such as 20f. Lastly they aren’t supposed to last all that long.
Avoid the EBC blue stuff pads with those rotors, in case you're looking. They're super squeaky, even after a couple thousand miles, and seem to tend to put deposits on the rotors that make them feel like they're warped.
I am on their RP-1 pads but I get terrible vibrations after they get heated. I suspect its because I didnt change rotors from my previous pads. I just thought they'd be rebedded after a few hard stops with the new pads.
